Critical reception
Fred Thomas of AllMusic stated that the album's "finely tuned production and masterful vocal delivery verifies that the success is well deserved". The critic praised the album stating, "amid smooth, trap-infused R&B/rap hybrid tracks like "Tables Turn" and "Flaws Included", Float finds K Camp teaming with PnB Rock for the melodic album standout "Life Has Changed" and getting into more intense territory with the heavy bass and controlled flows on "Guts", with special guest True Story Gee". Thomas also commented, "K Camp navigates a spectrum of styles on Float, hitting the mark on commercially appealing R&B pop with the Trey Songz-featuring "Privacy" and flexing a more aggressive skill set on tracks like "Check My Stats".[10]
